The Doggy Store

John wasn't feeling well today so I took all the kids and dropped the older two off at guitar lessons. Then the younger two and I went to Target and Scheels to kill time while we waited.

When we got home Phil was telling his Dad that he got something at the "doggy" store. I had no idea what he was talking about until I remembered the picture at Target of that white dog with the red "target" around his eye.

Then he was telling us how to make zombies slide down the stairs. First you put slime on the stairs so they will slide down on a skateboard, then you lock the door after them.

I think maybe he has been watching too much "Scooby Doo."

Shoes

Bought Phil some new shoes the other day.

Size 13.

Earthling

Phil was playing with Lego 'robots' tonight. He said, "Wow! I've never been on Earth before!"

Thanks

I picked Philip up from daycare today and as we were driving home, he looked at me from the backseat and said, "Well. Thanks for picking me up."


It sounds kind of snotty written down but he said it really matter of fact and politely.

Those Darn Pronouns

Phil was supposed to be getting dressed. I went in his room and he only had his shirt on.

I said, "Phil, you're not even dressed yet!"

He said, "Part of I am."

I Have to Go to the Boo-throom!

Phil will get up at night sometimes while John & I are still up and have to go to the bathroom. But he won't walk all the way down the hallway by himself. He's scared of the dark. He thinks there's either a monster or a ghost lying in wait for him.

John tried to get him to do it tonight. We sat on the couch and told Phil we'd watch him go down the hall. He tried. He got almost all the way but then he got scared so he came right back and John had to go with him.
